In a world obsessed with influence, image, and control, how can God’s servants wield authority without becoming authoritarian? Drawing from 2 Corinthians 10:1–6, Dr. Richard Bargas explores how Paul’s example teaches church leaders to exercise divine authority with humility, dependence, confidence, biblical conviction, and an eternal perspective. This episode challenges pastors and ministry leaders to reject the fleshly tactics of our age and instead lead like Christ—strong yet gentle, bold yet meek, confident yet completely dependent on the power of God.

 

Whether you’re a pastor facing criticism, a ministry leader under pressure, or a believer navigating today’s spiritual battles, this episode will equip you to stand firm and lead faithfully—with the authority of Christ and the heart of a servant.
